Panels are basically special 'controls' for the 'window' of the desktop, yet we have no access to change their positioning through an interface outside of the user interacting with it.

Some example use cases would be changing the size/ratio/dimentions of visual elements in response to a configuration/option change. With panels, that's a no-go, you're stuck with what you initialized with and the user must now use resize and manual position each element.

Is there any plans for adding panel position mutability in the future?

No immediate plans to change panel layout behaviors. Panels were not originally designed to be a malleable layout system like controls.
You can already move panels around using windowinstance.setPosition API, like is done with the sidebar currently.
